2nd day on LT

Full Member

hiya,
im currently on my 2nd day of LT and to be honest i've taken to it very well, im not craving food like i thought i would cos i think the water is filling me up lol.
one problem i have got is that since yesterday pm i've been suffering with massive headaches, now anyone that knows me knows that i dont complain about headache's and stuff and just put up with them but these are real servere.
has anybody else suffered these? and is it ok for me to take my normal pain relief? eg co-codamol / ibuprofen.

I am on day 2 also!! Second round of TFR. I got absolute migraines the last time but they were from days 2 to 5 and then I was fine. I have just taken headache tablets for one starting now! But they do pass and it is all Soooooo worth it on day 7 when you weigh in!

Constant reoffender over the past 4yrs. I have lost and put back on the same 4 stone several times over the years.

Back as of 21st May 2012.

This time around I will only be weighing in to start and am going to try not to weigh again for 2 months or maybe longer...........why?...............

If I have a good week I feel I "deserve a food reward" and if I have a bad week I feel "I should comfort eat"! So going to try and step away from the scales for a change and see can I just keep going till I feel happy with me.

Sorry your headaches are bad. It's due to a withdrawal of starches (sugars etc) and caffiene. :coffee: Just take the painkillers (as Cankster said, no sugar coated ones) and they'll pass in a day or so. Also, drink at least 3 litres of water a day. :strikeout_button:
Hope you feel better soon Hun. xx

lol thats what i was thinking.
thanks for the advice everyone it really helps. i didnt drink much tea or coffee yesterday cos i was struggling with getting 3 litres of water down but im managing a little better today so hopefully that will help. i really surprised myself at how well im coping with not eating, although i never used to eat anything in the day AT ALL i used to really look forward to my evening meal so i think thats been the hardest bit. i've just discovered though that i really cant stomach the vanilla shake, it taste really oaty and feels a bit too heavy after you have had it.

never mind though, day 2 is neally done then onto day 3.BRING IT ON !!!!!!

Always welcome new m8's!

Hey and welcome! I suffered headaches and like you i dont complain but i did mutter a few choice words about them! I havent suffered any since day 3!
Excellent your doing so well, nice one!
Again welcome xx

Welcome on board! I'm on Day 2 as well, having taken a month break whilst on holiday. The first week ain't much fun but it gets much easier as time goes by. Good luck mate (I think mate is more appropriate than babe tbf.)
